*day they were taken*
•Sophies mum (Michelle) POV•
When we got to an unknown location myself and Courtney were lifted out of the car and put gently in the middle of the sitting room floor of a random house. The first person I saw was Chris. He's Courtney and Sophies father. "Chris why did you bring us here?" I asked him. I'm extremely scared and I know what he is capable of. "I want you Michelle. Why did you leave me? You didn't think I would find you this fast huh?" I left him because of the way he treated me but I needed to lie to him otherwise he might hurt us. "The girls and I were taken away." I said as I looked away from his face. "Well that's too bad hey." He said trying to act tough. He yelled out to someone I think their name was Jasper and he ran over immediately and took Courtney away. She was screaming out for help but there's nothing more I could do. Jasper got a gun out of his vest pocket and pointed it at Courtney's head. "Please don't shoot her" I quietly said. "Michelle you deserve this." Chris eagerly said to me. "Once he shoots I will let you go to never see you again and return back to LA. But first you need to sign these papers" he said passing me 4 pieces of paper and a pen. I could hardly write because I was shaking. "Divorce papers?" I spoke up before writing anything. "JUST SIGN THE FUCKING PAPERS SO I CAN LEAVE" he yelled at me. I quickly did as he said and handed them back to him. He nodded at Jasper and he pulled the trigger of the gun right before my very eyes. My daughter had just been shot. I passed out by the sight of it.
*current day⬇️*
I woke up on a park bench in Melbourne. What am I doing here? Then I remembered that Courtney had been shot and I burst into tears. Then it popped into my mind. Sophie. Where is she? Is she okay? I needed to find my way to Glenroy. I asked someone who looked like a local in one of the shops and they told me Glenroy was 2 hours away from here. I nodded as a thank you and started walking on my very slow journey back to Glenroy to find my daughter. Sophie.
*2 1/2 days later*
I am finally in Glenroy. Now I need to get to my house. It is a 5 minute walk from here so I will make it. I haven't eaten in 2 days and I feel like I'm going to die soon. I finally arrive back at my house. There is police tape around my yard. Oh yeah I was taken out of this pace so it is now a crime scene. There was a police man standing beside the tape with a phone to his ear. I stood on the other side of the tape until he finished his phone call. "Ma'am this is a crime scene you are going to have to leave" he spoke softly to me. "Sorry sir I am one of people who were taken from this house to cause this crime scene." He looked at me surprised. He got a photo out of his pocket to check the description and it matched. "Miss where have you been? Please explain what happend. Where is your daughter who was taken also?" He asked me. I took in a deep breath and thought how to make this long story short. "My daughter Courtney and I were taken by my ex husband and taken out to an unknown place. He got me to sign divorce papers and his mate shot my daughter in the temple right infront of my eyes. I passed out at the sight of it and I woke up in Melbourne and walked to Glenroy. It took about 2 1/2 days." I explained. He panicked and rushed me inside to get some food and water into me. Where is Sophie?
